The management of migration and the retention of the health workforce are interrelated. Pay equity, security, social responsibility of the private sector, rights of labor, adequacy and quality of human resources for health are the policy goals for retention of the workforce in Philippine health delivery systems. Policy alternatives are geared at compensation, benefits, training and development, career path development, job design, and distribution of plantilla positions.
